This is the second Asus ROG motherboard I've purchased in the last decade. Man oh man, this is a lot of computing power in a mini ITX form factor. Very easy to install and setup. Asus gets extra points for their website approved CPU & RAM manufacturers listing. It really takes the guesswork out of outfitting a killer system. They also make it easy to upgrade the firmware and BIOS as they make little bug fixes to their systems. All in all a class act from a world class manufacturer in the computer industry.

Beautiful board with all the right features. It was a bit on the expensive side but it's certainly premium but I didn't feel bad paying what I did for it.

USB-C ports on the I/O and USB-C Headers aid this board's versatility. The BIOS update is a simple process on the motherboard (CPU Installation not required).

I spent lots of time reviewing the limited AM5 gen 5 mini-itx motherboards available on the market and I believe this Asus RogStrix motherboard is the best choice for top end builders/gamers. From the overclockable bios to the many top end features it’s a great purchase.

EXCELLENT board, I'm very impressed and I build a lot of systems so that's saying something. Probably the closest thing to the ideal ITX board on the market today, IMO. Perfect stability, future-proof with PCIe 5.0 on M.2 and x16, no daughterboards or external modules to mess with. Great board layout and excellent audio section, thoughtful extension cable provided for front panel connections that makes it easier to hook up front panel connections than even full size ATX boards (all boards should have this!). The lit rear audio jacks are a nice touch as well. The only thing that could really improve on this board would be USB4 (maybe in the next generation?).

Board hardware - great quality, features, extendability, PCIE 5 x16 slot, and all other features I wanted. Powerful VRM, very quiet VRM fan, well thought layout of each ports and slots.
Now that being said... ASUS BIOS = sucks. Extremely unstable, especially with EXPO and XMP (doesn't matter if memory is listed in QVL). I get constant black screen on Cold boot randomly. I ended up just using setting without EXPO (Bios 1222).
I also own Gigabyte B650I Arous, and yes this board has less feature than ASUS board, but this one boots everytime without any issue with my G.Skill EXPO memory. Stability is more important than feature to me, and I would stay away from ASUS board until they push better quality Bios in general.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
